This episode of the Web3 with Sam Kamani podcast featuers Tama Churchouse, Chief Operating Officer of Cumberland Labs, an early stage blockchain venture studio backed by DRW and Cumberland. Tama has been involved in crypto since 2016, coming from over 10 years in structured finance at JP Morgan in Hong Kong. At Cumberland Labs, Tama helps ideate, scope, research, build POCs and launch new crypto businesses from scratch. Some of their current projects include: Hashflow - An on-chain asset management platform for structured products and volatility trading. It caters to institutional clients by being fully on-chain yet regulated. Expand.network - A one-stop API for developers to easily interact with dozens of blockchains through a single API while retaining self-custody. Already has corporate clients. Digitally - An NFT wiki community to provide clear, objective info on NFT projects. Includes history, functionality, rights etc. There is a lack of reliable NFT info currently, so this aims to be a reliable source. When discussing the future of NFTs, Tama believes we are in a bear market currently after the 2021 hype cycle. However, NFTs as a technological primitive remain as fascinating as years ago. Stronger projects will emerge from this winter by providing more utility, community and commercial viability. In DeFi, Tama sees more merging with TradFi coming in the next 6-12 months. This includes bringing traditional assets on-chain while still providing access to DeFi. For example, placing idle stablecoins into structured on-chain products vs putting money in and out of bank accounts. On stablecoins, Tama believes the structure and market making are most important for maintaining the peg. Non-USD stablecoins are still lacking, which is a missed opportunity - stablecoins are perfect for transferring cross-border value. When asked about challenges, Tama explained the regulatory limitations on attaching economic features to tokens is frustrating. This restricts the upside and democratizing potential of blockchain. Keeping up with the explosion of new protocols is also difficult. Finding high quality entrepreneurs and ideas early that fit their vision and network is an ongoing effort. Overall, Tama remains excited about the potential for crypto to enable creation and transfer of economic value in a permissionless way. He wants to enable projects to provide as much value as possible to their users and token holders. Nothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

In this conversation with Chris, we explore his fascinating journey into the realm of cryptocurrency and DeFi. It all began when he assumed the role of a product manager at MakerDAO back in 2018, where his primary focus was on enhancing user interfaces. Chris played a pivotal role in improving the user experience, particularly within the B2C and retail growth sectors. Our discussion naturally transitions to Chris's move from MakerDAO to Summerfy (formerly known as Oasis app) and the rationale behind this rebranding. The decision to rebrand was driven by the desire to signify a broader DeFi focus extending beyond MakerDAO. We delve into Summerfy's mission, which revolves around creating an easily accessible platform for borrowing and earning within the DeFi landscape. Chris generously shares various strategies that enable users to yield returns on their crypto assets. Throughout this conversation, we repeatedly stress the importance of user-friendly interfaces and simplifying transaction execution steps to enhance the overall user experience. Chris paints a vivid picture of his vision for Summerfy, highlighting the potential for non-custodial strategies and the integration of DeFi products with traditional financial services like Revolut. This integration not only promises higher yields for users but also seeks to address regulatory challenges through innovative solutions such as zero-knowledge proof identities. We tackle several challenges faced by the industry, including the complexities of regulation, KYC/AML requirements, and the potential for decentralized identities to revolutionize user verification without compromising privacy. In the latter part of our conversation, we delve into the evolving role of cryptocurrency in addressing real-world problems, particularly in terms of financial inclusion. However, we also raise valid concerns about wealth inequality within the crypto space. Furthermore, we engage in a conversation about product development, investment, and the crypto industry. We kick off by emphasizing the paramount importance of actively using the products one works on, a principle we both hold dear. We share valuable insights into how we connected with investors, emphasizing the role of introductions through connections and advisors with extensive networks. We place particular emphasis on the value of investors who not only provide funding but also deeply understand the product, enabling them to offer invaluable feedback. Throughout this segment, we stress the significance of crafting products that are both sticky and user-friendly. Our conversation touches upon the creation of that all-important "aha moment" when users fully grasp a product's value. We reference specific DeFi products, such as Yarn Vaults, Dharma, and Maker, that have succeeded in delivering such moments for users in the crypto and blockchain space. We also highlight the power of user referrals as a highly effective marketing channel and discuss the critical distinction between building a good product versus obsessing solely over token prices and technical intricacies. Our conversation concludes on an optimistic note, as we discuss the potential for steady growth and adoption within the crypto industry. Throughout, we remain committed to the principle of user-centric product development and building a strong foundation for the future of DeFi.

Welcome to another episode of "Web3 with Sam Kamani." Today is a landmark episode, and the excitement in the air is palpable because I had the absolute honor of interviewing none other than the luminary of the decentralized world, Vitalik Buterin. Having been the brains behind Ethereum, Vitalik isn't just a name. He's a movement. A force that has continuously reshaped how we perceive decentralization. And folks, this interview is possibly one of the most insightful discussions I've had on this platform. Just a few months back, I found myself amidst the buzz of the ETH Global Hackathon. It was a hotbed of ideas, innovations, and inspirations. Among the myriad of game-changing developments there, two things particularly stood out: the intrigue of Zero Knowledge proofs and the seamless fusion of AI into almost every tool I encountered. Today, with Vitalik, we delve deep into the core concerns that he has vocalized time and again: Scalability & Fees: They say, to achieve mass adoption, we need to make it affordable. Transaction fees have been a thorn in the side of many. Ethereum has come a long way, but there's more to conquer. Privacy: In a world that's increasingly digital, how do we ensure that the blockchain doesn't compromise on our right to privacy? Identity: Decentralized identity isn't a luxury; it's a necessity. And we talk about the roadmap towards achieving that. Social Recovery & Multi-Sig: Wallets are our bank in the crypto world. But how do we ensure they're Fort Knox and not sitting ducks? We discuss the potential of social recovery and multi-signature solutions. Ethereum on Layer 2: Scaling is the name of the game, and Layer 2 might just be Ethereum's ace. We explore the nuances. But, one concept that really piqued my interest during the event was Vitalik's perspective on collaboration and standardization in the crypto ecosystem. Standardization often hints at centralization. How then, in this decentralized wonderland, do we strike a balance between the two? That, dear listeners, is the crux of our discussion today.

Few months ago there was a very popular video on youtube by investigative journalist Dan Olson, where he showcases all the problems with Web3, crypto, BTC, ETH, DAOs and NFTs. I found that video extremely fascinating, however I felt that even though most of the things in that video were true. The creator of the video missed out some vital points. That’s why I invited one of my friends who is working and building a startup in this space to discuss the problems in Web3 and what are the alternatives. In this episode of the Web3 with Sam Kamani podcast I interview the founder of the Valorize App. Basically Valorize let’s anyone create a governance token.

Imagine a world where your computer makes you money when you are NOT using it. Imagine a world where you can reduce your cloud computing expenses by 90%. Salda.com is a company that is making this into a reality. Salad activates the latent resources of idle gaming PCs on the web’s most trusted "AFK-for-pay" marketplace. Salad’s users (or “Chefs”) turn a wealth of dormant processing power into games, DLC, gift cards, subscriptions, and more. Every year, Salad’s users redeem over 50,000 digital and real-world items, and contribute thousands to charities across the globe. More than 400 million gaming PCs sit inactive for 22 hours a day. With Salad, that’s 11 minutes of pay to every minute of play. With a quarter million users already earning, they’ve made substantial inroads into a mostly untapped global market. Their community is powered by blockchain protocols and high-trust infrastructure to ensure our Chefs chop through any task—while remaining safely anonymized. Soon they will democratize financial access through SaladPay, a payment platform that takes Salad Balance web-wide. In five years’ time, “Pay with Your PC” will be ubiquitous. In this episode I interview Bob Miles, Bob is the Founder and CEO of Salad Technologies. Starting his career as a pilot before studying Aeronautical Engineering, Bob joined Qantas a Performance Engineer before pivoting into the startup world soon after. Cofounding a digital marketing company called the Green Way Up, this project morphed into a 12 part television series aired internationally on both National Geographic and Netflix, a journey where Bob powered a cross-continent expedition using a waste-to-fuel system he designed and built. Bob is an avid traveler, has visited North Korea twice and completed several week-long solo bicycle trips in Russia, South Korea and Myanmar. In this episode we also talk about Decentralized computing AWS, Google cloud Economics of decentralization Internet, Web3 Antiviruses Competing against giant competitors NFTs OpenSea Kubernetes Centralized infrastructure Connect with Bob & Salad team here:- Website: www.salad.com Website (Cloud): www.salad.com/cloud Discord: SaladChefs Twitter: Salad_Chefs TikTok: Saladchefs Join our Web3 Discord community - "https://discord.gg/2eJ7DVGcx6" It is free for only the first 100 members, after that entry will be only for people who hold a speaker badge NFT from this podcast.

In this episode of Web3 with Sam Kamani I interview Arvin Khamseh,  Arvin Khamseh has always been on the forefront of new tech trends.  From biohacking, to internet marketing, Arvin knows where to invest his time.

His two largest NFT projects, Sands Vegas Casino Club and Meta Legends, both sold out.  The Sands project made $7m in 20 hours and the Mega project made an astonishing $12m in 20 hours and even received celebrity attention. Arvin is excited to help lead the conversation around NFTs and is a highly sought after guest.  He is soon to be featured in USA Today, Forbes and Business Insider.
